+## VERDICT: NO-GO for bundling. GO for ZeckF64 band encoding.
+
+Majority-vote bundling at 8K and 16K bits is **in the dead zone**. ZeckF64
+band encoding at 64 bits **dominates** both. The Pareto frontier has 3 levels,
+confirmed empirically. The cascade should skip bundling entirely.

+
+**Dead zone confirmed:** Between 57 and 8,192 bits, nothing works.
+8Kbit bundle achieves ρ=0.001 (random noise). 16Kbit integrated
+achieves ρ=0.417 (worse than 64-bit ZeckF64).

+
+## Why Bundling Fails (root cause analysis)
+
+The theoretical 25% per-bit error is confirmed and is NOT the problem.
+The problem is what happens when you COMPARE two bundles.
+
+Bundle_A = majority(shift(S_a), shift(P_a), shift(O_a))
+Bundle_B = majority(shift(S_b), shift(P_b), shift(O_b))
+
+hamming(Bundle_A, Bundle_B) mixes signals from ALL SIX planes (S_a, P_a, O_a,
+S_b, P_b, O_b) through two independent majority operations. The cross-talk
+between components destroys the per-component distance signal.
+
+In contrast, ZeckF8/ZeckF64 encodes the 7 mask distances EXPLICITLY as byte
+values. No mixing, no majority vote, no cross-talk. The distance information
+is preserved by design.
+
+**Bundling answers: "are these two bundles similar?" (blur)**
+**ZeckF64 answers: "are these two triples similar in the same WAY?" (structure)**
+
+---
+
+## Architectural Consequence: Revised Cascade
+
+OLD (with bundles):
+```
+L0: ZeckF16 (16 bits) → L1: Merkle (8Kbit) → L2: Bundle (8Kbit) →
+L3: Integrated (16Kbit) → L4: Exact planes (48Kbit)
+```
+
+NEW (without bundles):
+```
+L0: ZeckF8 scent (1 byte)     → 94% precision, scent filter
+L1: ZeckF64 (8 bytes)          → ~70-98% precision, resolution filter
+L2: Exact S+P+O planes (6KB)   → 100% precision, final verification
+```
+
+This IS the Heel/Hip/Twig/Leaf architecture from the paper:
+- Heel = ZeckF8 scent on my neighborhood vector
+- Hip/Twig = ZeckF64 resolution on hop-2/3 neighborhoods
+- Leaf = exact planes for final candidates
+
+The 8K/16K bundle levels are eliminated. They contribute negative value
+(worse precision than smaller encodings at higher storage cost).
+
+---
+
+## What Survives from the Bundle Work
+
+1. **cyclic_shift<N>() is correct and useful** — exact, SIMD-friendly,
+   coprime-guaranteed. May be useful for other VSA operations.
+
+2. **majority_vote_3<N>() is correct** — the 3/4 recovery rate holds.
+   Bundling just isn't the right application for SPO search.
+
+3. **The gcd fix applies universally** — any power-of-2 dimension
+   must use odd shift values. This affects all cyclic-permutation VSA.
+
+4. **Bias analysis is valuable** — recovery improves with bias but
+   discriminability degrades. Safe range confirmed to p∈[0.10, 0.90].
+
+5. **NARS revision in ndarray is already correct** — uses evidence-weighted
+   formula with w=c/(1-c). No fix needed.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Calibrate ZeckF64 threshold** — the fixed d_max/2 threshold is suboptimal.
+   Test percentile-based thresholds (median, P75, P90 of observed distances).
+
+2. **Implement ZeckF64 L1 comparison** — for neighborhood vector search,
+   the comparison is L1(ZeckF64_a, ZeckF64_b) between two edge encodings,
+   not sorting individual ZeckF64 values.
+
+3. **Build Heel/Hip/Twig/Leaf** in lance-graph using ZeckF64 neighborhood
+   vectors directly, with no bundle intermediate level.
+
+4. **Remove bundle from CogRecord spec** — the MetaView doesn't need an
+   8Kbit bundle field. That space can be reclaimed for TEKAMOLO detection
+   state or additional ZeckF64 edge summaries.
